Thursday, February 2, 2012. February: The Love Month. Welcome to the month of Valentine's and all things LOVE. I have learned much about the true meaning of agape love from the man God blessed me to spend my life with. I am humbled to tell you that it is BILLY far more than Sherrie who practices and models the love of the Father in our house. Along came a young man that I fell madly in love with. I was only 18 but those conditions of love were well engrained in my psyche. I hid my ugliness from h...That'...

Firmly Planted Ministries: August 2014
http://fpministries.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Back to the Blog. You can't figure God out. He is mysterious and beautiful with plans that are too high and too lofty for us to know. So now, at this stage of the game - with no home church (we are looking! And retreat opportunities opening up again, I decided to recharge the blog. I distinctly remember having a godly older woman (she was probably younger than me! Will I ever be alright? So I pray this is an encouragement to you today. Don't let wherever you are today determ...

Thursday, February 21, 2013. What looked like a boiler was cross checked against the 1911 photographs of Titanic’s boilers at Harland and Wolff. As a tribute to the shipyard which had built Titanic, Ballard raised the Harland and Wolff flag on the team’s vessel and a memorial service was held for those who had died there 73 years earlier. Can you imagine the excitement as the crew began their journey to the area they suspected to have been the resting place of the Titanic? When we encounter Christ, it be...

Firmly Planted Ministries: When we don't lie, we get to go to iHop
http://fpministries.blogspot.com/2014/10/when-we-dont-lie-we-get-to-go-to-ihop.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. When we don't lie, we get to go to iHop. Our Sutton girl comes to Mimi and Pops on Fridays. We call it Fabulous Friday. We just chill; ahem, do whatever she wants. :D. Without a hitch our breakfast of choice is iHop. It's our go-to place where girlfriend gets her some pancakes and she and her Pops practice 'coloring in the lines.'. Isn't that just the way sin is? And out of scribbles and hen-scratchings, beauty emerges. Grace. That's what happens when we obey the Lord. We ...

Firmly Planted Ministries: May 2013
http://fpministries.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 5, 2013. Life is a Gift. 8220;If you don’t take it all as gift, you end up taking it all for granted — which amounts to not taking anything good from life at all.”. Death taught me this. Six precious lives in five years instantly slipped from this world to the next. Two of them right before my eyes. The horror of death. Don’t let anyone tell you that death is beautiful. I saw LIFE leave my parents and it did not look pretty. And yet……. Yes, suffering to learn to fully appreciate life. We are ...

Firmly Planted Ministries: April 2012
http://fpministries.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. I love seasons. Perhaps it is because I am easily bored that I revel whenever a new season comes. Sometimes I think about the possibility of a world without seasons and think how monotonous that would be. God could have done that and we would have never known the difference. Yet in His wisdom and creativity, He blessed us with the starkness of winter that gives forth to the beauty of spring. It's amazing to me how God created these beautiful flowers and if you look closely at the c...

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. When It's Hard to Give Thanks. It is easy to give thanks when you stop and truly meditate on what you have and not what you don't have. But what do you do when the what-you-don't-have. Or worse yet, people? If age teaches you anything, it teaches you that things can be replaced. People cannot. The weight on my chest of those for whom I pray. It makes me ache. That is how we give thanks always. In the knowing. So when it's hard to give thanks, give thanks for Him. For the O...

Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Before the resurrection there was a crucifixion. Before there was joy there was great pain. Before there was hope there was abject despair. I found my mind going to the homes of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (Matthew 28: 1-8). The last to leave the scene of the cross, they would not go home to fulfill the law’s requirements for the Sabbath until they had seen His body placed in the tomb. I imagine the journey seemed so long. So arduous. Grief saps your energy. So...I was rem...
